[issue33630] test_posix: TestPosixSpawn fails on PPC64 Fedora 3.x

As I wrote on GitHub, I think that it is better to use the list approach always for two reasons:

1) Additional #if's and duplications clutter the code.

2) It is hard to test the alternate branch if the other branch is used on most developer computers.

It is better to have a single branch and add a comment that explains a workaround. It can be removed after platforms with buggy glibc versions will grow out of use.
